When you hear about a cougar, you usually imagine strength, speed, and dangerous agility, but not playfulness. But this time is an exception. In the forest, a cougar came across a swing hanging from a tree and decided that it was the best toy in the world. It was time to play.
Cougars are predators with impressive speed, strength, and an almost ninja-like ability to sneak up on their prey. Most encounters with them are frightening—and with good reason, as such encounters can end tragically in the wild.
But this time the predator showed another side of its nature – its playfulness. And reminded us that even such a formidable beast can behave like a house cat when it comes to games.
A resident near Blackhawk, Colorado, hung a swing from a tree. And it became the “perfect toy” for a cougar, who began to kick and spin it after being caught on video.
And you have to admit, it looks really cute. Yes, if you get too close, a cougar wouldn't hesitate to show off its strength. But in the video, from a safe distance, it just looks like a huge, fluffy cat that wants to play. And it's really touching.
